Scott Flowage is one of the reservoirs mapped in Marinette County and the best current size-and-depth record is about 139 acres and a maximum depth of 20 feet, which helps keep the first trip simple instead of turning it into a giant guessing game.

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more by giving shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank more than a couple of throwaway casts because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
Fish to think about
The water-specific species list for Scott Flowage includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; and that is enough to put some time into weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and keep one good idea at a time instead of changing everything.
Where I would put my time
For the opening trip to Scott Flowage, I would make a short plan, fish it honestly, and change areas only when the water gives me a reason, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
